    Summary

    Being dead is a lot duller than Connor anticipated. Not that he’d given the matter much thought at the age of thirty-one. Sure, he was starting to see laugh lines bracketing his mouth and he’d given his dermatologist’s recommendation for daily sunscreen a lot more thought, but he wasn’t nearing the end of his life by any means.

    In his time since he’d taken a bus to the spine, Connor had learned Death often stopped for those not looking out for him. Death was an ok enough guy after Connor had gotten a chance to know him; cold and weird as hell, but ok. It wasn’t really his fault that he was in charge of punching people’s tickets. Connor felt a little sorry for him after the years crept on and his rage at his untimely demise faded into a yawning eternity of people watching.

    Of course, Connor was bored, but people loathed Death. They cursed him. They shrieked in his face and wailed their misery at every parting. Death didn’t even get to choose, which Connor declared as “Complete bullshit.” After all, if a man has to be one of the most reviled and feared characters in the human psyche, he might as well get to earn it.
    ___
    Connor might be a bit dead, but there's more to life he needs to discover.

    Summary

    Connor’s inside both freeze and melt at the same time at the thought of going to his professor’s house, alone, at night. Before he can talk himself out of it or say something absolutely asinine, he says, “Yes, I do need it right away. What’s your address?” Markus’ head swivels around so fast that his neck cracks and Connor fears he might’ve done himself an injury. He ends the call and grabs his keys.

    “You’re seriously going to his house? At nine o’clock at night?”

    “Yes, mother. I’ll be home before I turn into a pumpkin at midnight,” Connor snarks. Markus had a habit of playing mother hen over their group of friends and it could be quite irritating.

    --

    Connor is hot for his professor. His professor is hot for him. They're both grown adults, so what's the harm?

    Summary

    The revolution failed. Markus is dead. Connor accomplished his mission.

    Facing obsolescence and deactivation, Connor deviates in a world he made impossible for deviants to survive in. Fear and uncertainty grip him for the first time. He goes to the only person he thinks might help him, the only person he wants to see (and isn't wanting a strange new emotion?): Hank. Hank, who's furious with him. Hank, who he left on top of that frozen rooftop overlooking Hart Plaza.

    Hank, who, despite his anger, still agrees to help Connor get to Canada and his one chance at safety.
